I’m hooked on a show about a woman that weighs over 400 pounds. Heard about it from a friend and originally watched thinking hey, I won’t feel so bad about my six pounds I want to lose. But she’s so sweet and lovable, I got sucked in. Her weight is life-threatening so it’s danger and food drama from the start. Sorta like my life.
Ruby lives with friends in Savannah where fried foods reign. They all eat bad and have a hard time saying No. But after the warning from her doctor she seems snapped out of her food haze and ready to get healthy. So she goes from one extreme to the other, now only allowed to eat her pre-made meals and snacks. And that’s gotta suck after all the junk she was hooked on.
By the end of the show you’re cheering for her as she joins a gym and tries water aerobics. There’s no swimsuit in her size so she makes one from a jumper dress thingy and you can’t help but feel bad for her. When she exercises it’s exhausting, since she’s just so big, but she has an attitude that makes you think she’ll get thin this time. I want to believe her. I want to be her BFF.
Watch it sunday nights on the the style network.

I’m rooting for Ruby to get down to a healthy 250lbs. She’s like any one of your gal pals which makes her so damn likable. I have to admit my first thought was this show was going to be a white trash trainwreck but Ruby and her two best friends, the guy and gal are so funny and cool.
Loving Ruby!

Hey, I thought I was the only audience for this. I like it cuz it’s less offensive than the 1200 lb. man or 720 lb woman. She is a lot more hip and friendly. More like someone we cna identify with. The only thing is they have only several of these I’ve seen and I end up watching the same ones-where she wants her pizza. Maybe it’s on every week. Enjoy. and then eat.
